My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 39 - Don’t you think that you’re failing at being a human

39: Chapter 39: Don’t you think that you’re failing at being a human?

39 -39: Don’t you think that you’re failing at being a human?

Until now, her face still hasn’t fully recovered from the swelling.

In a few more days, she has to return to the film crew to start shooting.

She absolutely can’t have another injury on her face.

Joanna Lawrence, standing at 168cm, was a good bit taller than Annie Lawrence, who was only 163cm.

When Joanna looked down towards Annie, the coldness in her eyes startled Annie into retreating back another two steps.

Seeing Annie cringe and step back, Joanna lifted her chin slightly, her voice cold, “Annie Lawrence, just because you like to pick up trash, doesn’t mean everyone else is the same.

All you did was to seize an opportunity to pick up a man I discarded.

Do you really think that’s something to be proud of or happy about?”

“Years ago, in order to grab resources, you went from one sugar daddy to another, it’s been tough but you managed to get where you are today.

Now, with wounds healed and pain forgotten, have you also forgotten those past events?

If I had decided to follow your footsteps back then, do you really think Annie Lawrence would be here right now?”

“Leaning on some rich dude?” Joanna spat the words out with contempt.

“That’s your hobby, not mine.”

“Joanna Lawrence, you…”

Annie Lawrence’s face turned a shade dark.

Her facade of being weak and benign, was finally being ripped apart.

She gritted her teeth, seething with resentment, “Do you know what people find most annoying about you?

It’s this smug, holier-than-thou attitude of yours!

What are you still holding out for, even if you’ve known David longer and your feelings for him were deeper, so what?”

“Now, he’s in love with me!”

“Joanna Lawrence, you can’t even keep the man next to you, don’t you feel like a failure?”

Annie yelled until her voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with resentment.

She truly hated Joanna!

She’s hated her ever since they were little.

Whenever Joanna was around, the spotlight was taken away from her.

Joanna’s face, as it was, was an absolute annoyance, but all the men seem to lose themselves whenever they set eyes on her.

It took her a full five years to steal David from her.

Even so, she can’t afford to let her guard down even now.

Because she could feel that David still had feelings for Joanna.

If it hadn’t been for her pregnancy and her making her relationship with David known to Joanna, David wouldn’t have called off the wedding so quickly.

Moreover, the wedding was only called off because Joanna proposed it.

Thinking of this, Annie felt even more resentful.

Filled with jealousy and hatred, she raved, “Joanna Lawrence, let me tell you, not only will I snatch your man, I’ll snatch everything you care about.

You love acting, right?

But as long as I’m in the entertainment industry, you can forget about making it big.”

Watching the fury that Annie displayed, Joanna just lightly curved the corner of her lips, her expression didn’t fluctuate much.

“Annie Lawrence, do you really think you can control everything?”

So, Annie is pompous because she has David’s support.

If a fight for power is to be fought, would she be afraid?

In her ear, she could suddenly hear the words Ashton Heath said to her: ‘Marry me, and you can do whatever you want.

I will have your back.’

Her heart suddenly felt at peace.

That man…

Even though she doesn’t know him very well yet, she does know that he is not someone who would make promises lightly.

With his promise, what does she have to fear?
